Bandcamp recently announced that they’ll be donating 100% of their share of every sale on Friday, August 4th to the Transgender Law Center, “a nonprofit organization that works tirelessly to change law, policy, and culture for the more equitable.”

The cause resonates across our community, and Ghostly International will do its part to support it. Our share of revenue for the day is being donated as well.

“Bandcamp is a platform for artistic expression, and all manner of variance in experience and identity, including gender and sexuality, is welcome here. We support our LGBT+ users and staff, and we stand against any person or group that would see them further marginalized. This includes the current U.S. administration, and its recent capricious declaration that transgender troops will no longer be able to serve in the military. That this announcement was motivated in part to help fund the border wall exposes it as part of the administration’s cynical, discriminatory agenda.”
